I tend to think (without knowing which exception is thrown) that 
this is happening because XSD-generated code with character type
'char' expects the text in UTF-8 encoding. So you will need to
make sure that the 'á' character in your string is encoded as
UTF-8 multibyte sequence.

Alternatively, you can try to instruct the generated code to assume
that text is in the local code page by compiling your application
with XSD_USE_LCP macro defined. This approach, however, is not
portable in the sense that you cannot control the local code page
on some platforms (notably, Windows).
